BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Service (CBMS) system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Electronic Service Guide (ESG) selection in a CBMS system.

2. Description of the Related Art

With the development of communication and broadcast technologies, broadcast systems and mobile communication systems are able to provide a mobile Broadcast, which includes transmission of packet data through a broadcast channel. The capability of the mobile Broadcast is beyond that of the typical broadcast service which is limited to voice and image services. Establishing such a mobile Broadcast may include the discovery of a service by a mobile terminal capable of receiving the mobile broadcast, such as a mobile phone, a notebook, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), subscription of the mobile terminal to the service, provision of various pieces of control information for reception of the service, transmission of the service and reception of the service by the mobile terminal.

The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), which is an organization studying standards for interaction between individual mobile solutions, has determined standards for various applications mainly relating to mobile games, Internet services, etc. Among the working groups of the OMA, the sub working group of the Browser and Content (OMA BAC) Mobile Broadcast (BCAST) is studying technologies for convergence of a broadcast service and a mobile communication service by using a mobile terminal capable of communicating with an interactive network. Further, the Digital Video Broadcasting-Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Service (DVB-CBMS), which is an organization for mobile broadcast terminal standards, also defines system structures, interfaces, etc. for convergence of a broadcast service and a mobile communication service.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a conventional CBMS system.

FIG. 1 illustrates logical entities interacting with each other in order to achieve capabilities required for Internet Protocol (IP) Data Cast (IPDC) based on DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld). The entities illustrated in FIG. 1 are discriminated based on their main functions and may be located within either physically discriminated servers or the same server.

Referring to FIG. 1, the content creation block 101 creates content sources for a broadcast service and supplies the created content sources to the service application block 103. The service application block 103 creates service data for a particular service by aggregating the content sources, which are supplied from the content creation block 101, with metadata that is used for service configuration. For creation of the service data, the service application block 103 includes multiple sub-entities managing different applications for individual services. The service management block 105 includes sub-entities performing functions including service configuration, resource allocation, electronic service guide provisioning, security, and Mobility Management (MM) between the service application block 103 and a terminal 111.

The broadcast network 107 is a network that transmits broadcast service data, an example of which is the DVB-H system. In general, the interactive network 109 refers to a cellular mobile communication network, such as the Universal Mobile Telecommunications system (UMTS) according to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-2000 according to the 3GPP2, and the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or Wireless Broadband internet (WiBro). Also, the interactive network 109 may include all types of mobile communication networks capable of receiving information or a request from the terminal 111 and transmitting a response to the information or the request. The broadcast network 107 and the interactive network 109 operate as transmission bearers in a Convergence of Broadcasting and Mobile Service (CBMS) system.

The terminal 111 refers to a user terminal or receiver capable of accessing the interactive network 109 and receiving a broadcast service supplied from the broadcast network 107. In a CBMS system, the terminal 111 receives service data and signaling information from the broadcast network 107 and bi-directionally exchanges service data and signaling information with the interactive network 109.

Hereinafter, interfaces between individual entities including the logical entities will be described. In FIG. 1, CBMS-x and X-x refer to reference points between different functional entities, wherein CBMS-x refers to a reference point within the range of an IP datacast relating to the DVB-H specification and X-x refers to a reference point out of the range of an IP datacast relating to the DVB-H specification.

The interfaces of X-1, X-2 and X-3 refer to reference points between the broadcast network 107 and other entities, and they are typically not used in interactive standards based on the DVB-H. The X-1 interface interconnects the content creation block 101 and the service application block 103, the X-2 interface interconnects the interactive network 109 and the terminal 111, and the X-3 interface interconnects the service management block 105 and the interactive network 109.

The CBMS-1 interface carries broadcast-related signaling, i.e. Program Specific Information/Service Information (PSI/SI), from the broadcast network 107 to the terminal 111, and the CBMS-2 interface transfers content including audio, video, and files, from the service application block 103 to the terminal 111. The CBMS-3 interface transfers an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) from the service management block 105 to the terminal 111 through the broadcast network 107 in the form of Point-To-Multipoint (PTM) transmission. The CBMS-4 interface is used for Point-To-Point (PTP) transmission of ESG metadata and access control for service applications of the service application block 103 between the service management block 105 and the terminal 111. The CBMS-5 interface, which is an interface for PTP transmission service between the service application block 103 and the terminal 111, transfers a Short Message Service (SMS), a Multimedia Message Service (MMS), etc. through the interactive network 109. The CBMS-6 interface carries configuration parameters, which include allocated bandwidths and the number of services for DVB-H transmission, between the service management block 105 and the broadcast network 107. The CBMS-7 interface is used for description of a service application including metadata and content description or declaration of a service application between the service application block 103 and the service management block 105.

In order to receive a broadcast service in a mobile broadcast system such as the CBMS system, the terminal receives a Service Guide (SG), which includes description information of the service itself, charging information for the service, and information on a method of receiving the service. Then, by using the SG, the terminal can receive a service that it desires.

According to the conventional art as described above, in order to receive the ESG bootstrap information and receive a desired service through selection of an ESG, the terminal has to select an ESG bootstrap entry point from the PSI/SI in the broadcast network. Therefore, there is a need for the ability to select an ESG in an interactive network using an OMA Device Management (DM) without using the broadcast network.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of exemplary embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. It includes various specific details to assist in that understanding but these are to be regarded as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.

The terms and words used in the following description and claims are not limited to the bibliographical meanings, but, are merely used by the inventor to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the invention. Accordingly, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention are provided for illustration purpose only and not for the purpose of limiting the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

It is to be understood that the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a component surface” includes reference to one or more of such surfaces

By the term “substantially” it is meant that the recited characteristic, parameter, or value need not be achieved exactly, but that deviations or variations, including for example, tolerances, measurement error, measurement accuracy limitations and other factors known to skill in the art, may occur in amounts that do not preclude the effect the characteristic was intended to provide.

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention propose mechanisms, which enable a terminal to either select a new Electronic Service Guide (ESG) bootstrap entry point based on the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management (DM) or select an ESG based on provisioning. As used herein, the term “ESG bootstrap entry point” denotes a point at which a terminal can access an ESG bootstrap in order to search for ESG bootstrap information.

First, Management Object (MO), which is ESG bootstrap entry point information used in searching for an ESG bootstrap entry point by using the OMA DM, is defined. According to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the MO may have various configurations, and may provide useful information, which enables a terminal to select an appropriate ESG bootstrap entry point information. Therefore, the MO can be properly modified according to its use.

FIG. 2 illustrates a representative MO according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, reference numerals 210 to 270 denote nodes used in searching for an ESG bootstrap entry point. Among the nodes, the X field 210 is a node functioning as a placeholder, the Internet Protocol Data Cast (IPDC) field 230 is a node for an IPDC terminal, the ESG field 250 is a node carrying ESG-related information, and the ESGBootstrapEntryPointURL field 270 is a node indicating an entry point Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for requiring ESG bootstrap information through an interactive network.

Based on the representative MO described above, a terminal can search for an ESG bootstrap entry point URL by using the following OMA DM mechanisms.

Table 5 shows ideas of exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

TABLE 5
All the solutions for the entry point in this document are described as a URL, but
the entry point could be one or more of a URL, IP address and port number. If
both the URL and IP address are used at the same time, each case could be treated
as a sub node.
Note 1 Different mechanisms and examples of the MO are provided in this document, and
       all or part of these mechanisms and MOs could be combined and modified based
       on the application.
Note 2 IPPlatformID may not globally and uniquely identify the IP platform,
       so the IP platform should be identified by IPPlatformID and NetworkID.
       In this case, all of the recitations of IPPlatformID in this document may
       be replaced by IPPlatformID plus NetworkID.
Note 3 All the identifiers and structures identified in this disclosure are based
       on a current existing specification, IG. However, they could be modified
       when a new version is available.
Note 4 The concept of roaming is still in discussion. All the related issues in
       this document may be modified after a final decision on roaming has
       been made.
Note 5 Based on a current specification, there is one ESG bootstrap entry
       point for one IP platform. But in this document, the node of an IP
       platform for each entry point may occur more than once. Future
       extension is contemplated. Other nodes are in a similar condition. For
       the convenience of explanation, the occurrence of a node in this
       document is zero or more. But the actual occurrence of each node could
       be modified based on the current application and specification.
Note 6 Mechanism 1-9 use OMA DM for ESG bootstrap entry point
       discovery. Mechanism 10 is related to ESG entry point discovery.
       Mechanism 10 is related to provision information. All the structure and
       MO examples provided in mechanism 1-9 may be modified for
       mechanism 10 and 11.
Note 7 1) The parameters for bootstrap entry point, ESG entry point, and
       provisioning information are described when defining the MO. The
       terminal may acquire them through the OMA DM mechanism. But this
       information may also be delivered to the terminal over an interactive
       network or a broadcast network through signaling, e.g. query and
       request, notification, etc. This will be useful especially when a terminal does not
       support OMA DM.
       2) If it is assumed that each DM server only provides the information
       for its IPDC operator, the local IPDC operator identifier could be
       omitted. But for further extension, the local IPDC operator identifier
       information is given in this document.
       3) In mechanism 12-14, the ESGBoostrapEntryPointURL(or
       ESGEntryPointURL) for local and roaming cases are separated. For a
       different roaming partner, the URL is also separated. But it could be the
       same or a different URL. If the URL is different, that means a different
       URL is prepared to differentiate the local, and various roaming partner
       case. If the same URL is prepared, the terminal should tell the server
       which bootstrap (or ESG), local or which roaming partner, that it wants to use for
       a query at this entry point.

OMA DM Mechanism according to 1^st Exemplary Embodiment of the Present Invention

A terminal can register in a particular Internet Protocol Data Cast Key Management System (IPDC KMS) and IPDC operator, and has a right to access a service possessed by the IPDC KMS and IPDC operator. A service described in the ESG may belong to a particular single IPDC KMS and IPDC operator, and the IPDC KMS and IPDC operator information is given within an acquisition fragment.

When a service is given within an acquisition fragment as described above, a terminal may not be aware of which IPDC operator each service belongs to, before selecting and searching for an ESG.

Meanwhile, a current IPDC operator can be identified by the IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID are used as an IPDC operator identifier. If the IPDC operator identifier is changed later, related identifiers also should be replaced by new identifiers.

When the IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID are used as an IPDC operator identifier as described above, indication information reading “which ESG is proper for a terminal registered in a particular IPDC KMS and IPDC operator” in an OMA DM mechanism according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention can achieve optimization of the OMA DM mechanism, and helps the terminal to more easily and rapidly find a proper ESG bootstrap entry point for selection of an ESG belonging to the IPDC KMS and IPDC operator.

From the ESG bootstrap entry point URL obtained through the search, the terminal can find an ESG having an IPDCKMSID which the terminal itself has registered.

The following description of mechanisms based on the OMA DM mechanism according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will use the first OMA DM mechanism according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention as an example. Of course, the mechanisms described below can be applied to similar examples using the second OMA DM mechanism according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. However, for convenience of description, the present specification discusses only the examples using the first OMA DM mechanism according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

OMA DM Mechanism according to 2^nd Exemplary Embodiment of the Present Invention

In some circumstances, there may be multiple ESG providers within each ESG bootstrap, and each ESG provider can provide multiple ESGs. Therefore, a single ESG bootstrap entry point may include multiple pieces of ESG information. When a single ESG bootstrap entry point may include multiple pieces of ESG information as described above, an OMA DM mechanism according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention indicates an ESG Universal Resource Identifier (ESGURI), so as to provide a solution enabling a terminal to find a proper ESG bootstrap entry point.

Through the OMA DM mechanism according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention as described above, the terminal can find the ESG bootstrap entry point related to only the desired ESG. For example, the terminal accesses an ESG1 in one network and then moves to another network. However, the change of the network causes a change of bootstrap information for the ESG1. At this time, without using the OMA DM mechanism according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the terminal must search all bootstrap information for the bootstrap information relating to ESG1. However, by using the OMA DM mechanism according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can find the bootstrap information relating to ESG1.

OMA DM Mechanism according to 3^rd Exemplary Embodiment of the Present Invention

Multiple available ESGs may exist within multiple areas. When there are multiple available ESGs within multiple areas as described above, the OMA DM mechanism according to a third exemplary embodiment of the present invention enables a terminal located within a particular area to acquire bootstrap information for an ESG usable within the particular area through an ESG bootstrap entry point.

OMA DM Mechanism according to 6^th Exemplary Embodiment

In a mobility scenario, proper management targets include main parameters of the roaming concept. One proper management range corresponds to the roaming of handover, because subscription and roaming agreement occurs in the roaming of handover.

In the current CBMS, an IPDC operator (more specifically, an IPDC KMS and IPDC operator) performs subscription and proper management. In the future, the subject performing the subscription and proper management may be changed. However, the concept and mechanisms of exemplary embodiments of the present invention can be applied to a partial modification in which the IPDC KMS system and IPDC operator are replaced by new parameters.

Within a home coverage, the terminal can search for an ESG bootstrap entry point and then access an ESG relating to the IPDC KMS system and IPDC operator ESG. Even when the terminal is located out of the home coverage, the terminal still has the right to access the service, because there is a kind of roaming agreement between the exterior and home IPDC KMS system and the IPDC operator.

Each local IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID may have a roaming partner.

FIG. 13 illustrates roaming partners of each local IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID applied in a sixth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the local IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID include (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperatorID=1) and (IPDCKMSID=m and IPDCOperatorID=m), each local IPDC KMS system and IPDC operator has roaming partners. That is, (IPDCKMSID=n and IPDCOperatorID=n) and (IPDCKMSID=i and IPDCOperatorID=i) are roaming partners of the local IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperatorID=1, and (IPDCKMSID=j and IPDCOperatorID=j) and (IPDCKMSID=k and IPDCOperatorID=k) are roaming partners of the local IPDCKMSID=m and IPDCOperatorID=m. Two concurrent IPDC operators belonging to the same IPDC KMS system may have established a roaming agreement, and two IPDC operators from two different IPDC KMSs may have failed in establishing a roaming agreement. For example, the (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperatorID=1) may have established a roaming agreement with the (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperator=2), while the (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperatorID=1) may have failed in establishing a roaming agreement with the (IPDCKMSID=2 and IPDCOperatorID=3). In an exemplary implementation, for simplification and for additional extension, i, j, k, m, and n are used as indexes for the IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID. Detailed numerical values and information may be appointed according to actual requirements.

When detailed roaming partner information is not indicated, and if entry points for the local and roaming IPDC KMS system and IPDC operator are simultaneously provided, it is possible to use mechanism 1. In this case, a local terminal, whose home operator is, for example, (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperator=1), can use an entry point for the (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperator=1). Further, a roaming terminal, whose home operator is, for example, (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperator=2), can use an entry point for the (IPDCKMSID=1 and IPDCOperator=2). In the case of a local terminal, it is possible to obtain the entry point information from its home DM server. In the case of a roaming terminal, it is possible to obtain its own entry point information from its home DM server. However, when the roaming terminal is located out of the home DM server coverage, the entry point information can be obtained from the local DM server through negotiation between and support by the local DM server and its own roaming DM server. Therefore, according to mechanism 1, an entry point for the local and roaming terminal is provided based on the IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID. There is no indication for the roaming relation information.

Further, mechanisms 2 to 5 relating to mechanism 1 can be used for both the local and roaming terminal in the manner described above.

An entry point for the local and roaming IPDC KMS and IPDC operator may be separated by an indication within the MO.

An OMA DM mechanism according to the sixth exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a scheme for indicating ESG bootstrap entry points for the roaming terminal by corresponding IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID.

By an OMA DM mechanism according to the sixth exemplary embodiment of the present invention as described above, the terminal can obtain an ESG bootstrap entry point for the roaming terminal. By using the ESG bootstrap entry point, the terminal can search for ESGbootstrap information, and select an ESG having an available service for the roaming user.

When the roaming terminal cannot find its own IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID through the search, the roaming terminal cannot obtain proper information. In contrast, when the roaming terminal can find its own IPDCKMSID and IPDCOperatorID through the search, the terminal can find a roaming find of the roaming terminal in the LocalIPDCKMSID and LocalIPDCOperatorID, and indicates the ESG bootstrap entry point also.

Hereinafter, operations of a DM server and a terminal according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 39.

FIG. 38 illustrates an operation of a DM server according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The operation of the DM server according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which will be described below, is similar to the operation of the DM server according to the eighth or ninth exemplary embodiment of the present invention

Referring to FIG. 38, the DM server establishes communication with the terminal in step 3801, and transmits ESG bootstrap entry point information for a roaming partner to the terminal in response to a request from the terminal in step 3803.

FIG. 39 illustrates an operation of a terminal according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 39, the terminal turns on in step 3901, and accesses the DM server in step 3903. Then, in step 3905, after the communication is established, the terminal receives the ESG bootstrap entry point information from the DM server. Then, the terminal can search for an ESG bootstrap entry point for its roaming partner within the roaming coverage.

In step 3907, if an operator wants a proper bootstrap when it moves into another coverage area, the terminal determines a particular ESG bootstrap entry point for a roaming partner in the MO. In step 3909, the terminal selects the ESG bootstrap entry point for the roaming partner. In step 3911, the terminal requests ESG information from the selected ESG entry point. In step 3913, the terminal receives proper ESG information for the roaming situation and selects an ESG. As a result, in step 3915, the terminal selects a service that the terminal will access through the selected ESG.

OMA DM Mechanism according to 11^th Exemplary Embodiment

The OMA DM can be used either for the bootstrap as described above or for provisioning according to an eleventh exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

An ESG finding mechanism based on stage 1 specification is as follows:

• • 1) A terminal receives a PSI/SI.
  • 2) The terminal selects an IP platform based on enumerated IP platforms in the PSI/SI.
  • 3) The terminal receives an ESG bootstrap for the selected IP platform.
  • 4) The terminal selects an ESG provider from ESG providers enumerated in the ESGProviderDiscovery Descriptor.
  • 5) The terminal selects an ESG from ESGs enumerated in ESGAccessDescriptor of the ESG bootstrap and searches for the ESG.

Since the information on which IP platform, ESG provider, or ESG is proper is omitted, it is possible to provide the terminal with provisioning information. Based on the provisioning information, the terminal can make a decision and can select a proper object to access.

In a roaming scenario, the provisioning information is more important. Therefore, it is possible to provide a provisioning for a roaming scenario also.

Hereinafter, an example of signaling provisioning information by an OMA DM will be described with reference to FIG. 40.

FIG. 40 illustrates an MO of an OMA DM mechanism according to an eleventh exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

2. 2^nd OMA DM Mechanism

FIG. 45 illustrates an MO of a second OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 45, in the second OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, although a URL is described for an entry point, it is also possible to use not only the described URL but also an IP address, a port number, both a URL and an IP address/port number, or another address. If both the URL and the IP address/port number are used at the same time, each of them can be indicated by a sub-node. Therefore, all the URLs described in the second OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be an IP address and a port number (TSI, IP platform ID may be needed), or a URL and an IP address/port number (TSI, IP platform ID may be needed). Further, the entry point may be an entry point (for ESGBootstrap or ESG) that the terminal discovers in a broadcast network.

In the second OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the MO is defined for discovery of an entry point in a broadcast network.

The IPVersion6 4508 indicates if the SourceIPAddress and the DestinationIPAddress are signals according to IPVersion6. Here, the SourceIPAddress 4509 is a source IP address of a FLUTE session transmitting an ESG, and the DestinationIPAddress 4510 is a target IP address of the FLUTE session transmitting the ESG. Further, the Port 4511 is a port number of an IP stream of the FLUTE session transmitting the ESG, the TSI 4512 is a transport session identifier of the FLUTE session transmitting the ESG, the ESGURI 4517 indicates transmission of the ESG, the IPPlatformID 4529 is an IP platform identifier transmitting the ESG. Further, nodes designated by reference numerals 4501 to 4535 perform the same operations as those of the nodes provided by the OMA DM according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above.

3. 3^rd OMA DM Mechanism

FIG. 46 illustrates an MO of a third OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 46, for each ESGURI, an entry point of an ESGURI is defined in each IP platform, and nodes designated by reference numerals 4601 to 4631 perform substantially the same operations as those of the nodes provided by the OMA DM according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above.

In the second or third OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can search for an ESG directly in a broadcast without parsing ESG bootstrap information. Further, the second and third OMA DM mechanisms according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above correspond to examples for the home (local) case. Similarly, an ESG of a roaming partner discovery MO can be defined by the fourth and the fifth OMA DM mechanisms according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention described below.

4. 4^th OMA DM Mechanism

FIG. 47 illustrates an MO of a fourth OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 47, nodes designated by reference numerals 4701 to 4739 perform substantially the same operations as those of the nodes provided by the OMA DM according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above.

5. 5^th OMA DM Mechanism

FIG. 48 illustrates an MO of a fifth OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 48, nodes designated by reference numerals 4801 to 4835 perform substantially the same operations as those of the nodes provided by the OMA DM according to the tenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above.

In the home IPDC operator scope and the roaming partner scope, the MO for a terminal may have a configuration obtained by combining both scopes. Further, for the URL and the IP address/port/TSI/IPPlatformID, the MO may have a configuration corresponding to a combination for discovery of both entry points in bi-directions and in the broadcast network. Further, for the entry points of all other MOs, the URL may be an IPPlatform, TSI, or both of them. Further, the MO can be modified in a way similar to that described above in the OMA DM mechanism according to the twelfth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

OMA DM Mechanism according to 13^th Exemplary Embodiment

The OMA DM mechanisms according to the tenth to twelfth exemplary embodiments of the present invention are used for ESG search. The mechanism according to the eleventh exemplary embodiment of the present invention is used for supply of configuration information, while the others are used for ESG bootstrap search. For example, these mechanisms can be combined for at least one object for supply of configuration information and ESG bootstrap search.

The configuration may have various forms due to different applications. Therefore, the MO, ESG bootstrap entry point, and ESG entry point, which are defined in order to provide the configuration, also may have various forms. Further, in an exemplary implementation, the mechanisms defined in the present specification can be combined or modified in various ways.

1. 1^st OMA DM Mechanism

FIG. 49 illustrates an MO of a first OMA DM mechanism according to the thirteenth exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 49 is based on an assumption as follows. In FIG. 49, nodes designated by reference numerals 4901 to 4960 perform substantially the same operations as those of the nodes provided by the OMA DM according to the other exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Further, each home IPDC operator has a roaming configuration different from its home (local) configuration. The roaming configuration is based on a roaming agreement with its roaming partner. Referring to reference numeral 4909 of FIG. 49, the home configuration of the IPDC operator is described in the LocalOperatorAttri. The LocalOperatorAttri 4909 describes a related IP platform, an ESG provider, an ESG, area information, network information, and tuning parameters. The LocalESGBootstrapEntryPointURL is provided for the home configuration.

Referring to reference numeral 4938 of FIG. 49, a configuration of each roaming partner is provided in the RoamingPartnerAttri field. Further, the ESGBootstrapEntryPointOutURL field 4935 of FIG. 49 is provided for bootstrap search when the terminal belongs to the roaming configuration.

In the MO described above, different ESG bootstrap entry point URLs are prepared for local and roaming cases, and one URL may be provided for both of them. When a common URL is used for the local and the roaming cases, the terminal should notify the server of the object to which the terminal queries between the local and roaming cases when the terminal requests bootstrap information using the URL.

Based on the configuration and the entry point information described above, the terminal can select an IP platform for bootstrap, and can select an ESG that is proper for access through a broadcast network or query them through an interactive network. If the ESG entry point information is provided as in the OMA DM mechanism according to the ninth to twelfth exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the terminal can directly access or query the ESG without parsing the bootstrap information.
